BassinSoldier Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I'm wanting to get better with my jig fishing this coming year, seeing as they are pretty much the only lure I have 0 confidence in. I have 100 bucks of Christmas money for *** and I'm buying some. Any suggestions? I am looking at the evolution jigs (heavy cover and finesse). How about for trailer options as well? Thanks in advance everyone! Quote
Super User Munkin Posted December 14, 2008 Super User Posted December 14, 2008 Eakins Jewel jig 5/16oz in GP, black or brown are a finesse jig and catch a lot of fish. Trailers I use different ones but the 3 main ones are Zoom super chunk/jr, Paca craws and Zoom creepy crawler double tail grubs. Allen Quote
senko_77 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 The choices..... Buy the Spro K-Finesse Jig on T.W. or...... Sell the gift card and stock up on Gman jigs Quote
tyrius. Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Evolution or Terminator jigs if I can get them on a good sale. GMAN's jigs when I can't. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 buy a few footballs for rocks, eakins for all around and some grass jigs. That way your set up. Best all around color. Black/blue for me. Clear water PBJ 1/4-3/8 for light line, clear or shallow water 3/8-1/2 is best all around size. Quote
Super User Catt Posted December 15, 2008 Super User Posted December 15, 2008 My opinions on jigs Best heavy cover: Oldham's Lures Trailer Hitch Jig Best Hook: O. Mustad & Son A.S. Model 32796BLN straight shank round bend in 4/0 or 5/0 Top colors: Black-N-Blue, Black Neon, Black Neon/Brown/Amber Weights: ¼, 3/8, & ½ My opinions on trailers Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws Zoom Swimmin' Chunk & Salty Pro Chunks in sapphire blue Uncle Josh #11A Original Chunk & #23 Kicker Frog in blue Rage Tail Lobster in colors to match jigs My opinions on rattles is that I find them to be unnecessary but on the rare occasion that I use one it will be either Strike Kings Pro Model Jig or Lunker Lures Original Rattleback Flipping Jig My opinions on rods Length: 6' 10 to 7' Lure: 3/8-3/4 Power: Medium Heavy Action: Extra Fast My opinions on line Braided for matted vegetation or Buck Brush Berkley Big Game for everything else Quote
Stan Browning Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 The new evolution camo patterned jigs are awesome. Quote
bigfruits Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 to build confidence, definately go with finesse jigs. id get maybe a small 1/4 jig with a 3" trailer. bitsy bug jigs are cheap and great to start with. use a matching yum craw papi trailer. Quote
basshunter81 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I really like the Bass Patrol jigs. For two bucks you can't go wrong. For a trailer I like the Berkley Powerbait Chigger. Good Luck Quote
BassinSoldier Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 Ok so my order is done. I got 2 jewel eakins jigs with paca chunk trailers (3"). Hope I can get on 'em in 09 with some jigs. Thanks for all of the info guys! Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Ok so my order is done. I got 2 jewel eakins jigs with paca chunk trailers (3"). Hope I can get on 'em in 09 with some jigs. Thanks for all of the info guys! You'll also be getting a some of these shortly, Terminators,Evolution,Mann's, Bitsy's,Booyah's and Revenge IMO, it's hard to beat Picasso and Revenge. Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I fish water around 1-3feet deep, with 4-5feet deep being the deepest. This being said, my favorite jigs are Booyah Baby Boo's in 5/16 oz. And Eakins Ball head jigs 5/16oz. Favorite Trailers; Paca Chunks, Ragetail Chunks. Or Yum Chunks when im looking for a trailer with little action. Quote
The_Natural Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I think the 'Dandy' jigs have the best color selections, and are $2.89. The Lunker Lure original Rattle Back is a bargain at $2.19; they use the pricier Gammy hooks which a lot of more expensive jigs don't use. Quote
U.W BronzeBack Hunter Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Ok so my order is done. I got 2 jewel eakins jigs with paca chunk trailers (3"). Hope I can get on 'em in 09 with some jigs. Thanks for all of the info guys! If you're a smallie hunter like myself, nothing beats a quality finesse jig. My favorite being Strike King Bleeding Bitsy Jig. Small profile, 1/4 ounce, and ofcourse S.K signature bleeding bait characteristics (red hooks, etc). The Eakins Finesse Jig is another choice, but you can buy two or three S.K BBJ with the price of one of these. Quote
pabassin Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 You should try out the Jigs from Knuckle down Lures. They are made very well and at a good price. They also offer the living image skirt. A huge variety of skirt colors to choose from. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 18, 2008 Super User Posted December 18, 2008 Here's one of my fav finesse jigs: http://www.***.com/descpageJCASKINNY-SBPJBR.html Pair this with a Netbait Tiny Paca Chunk, and your post-cold front compatible. Quote
